— Boy George (the truth is in your breath) (@BoyGeorge) March 11, 2021
I'll just quote his previous tweets on the subject, oldest to newest:
1. "I found the big @oprah interview to be hugely dull. Is there more? I pray not!"
2. "The one person not mentioned in any of this Harry & Meghan saga is the little boy Archie. If they had left the royals without creating a shit storm (it could have been done easily) he would still be an important future member of our royal family. I hope he still can and will be. I feel neither family deserves applause."
3. "You'd think they would have in house therapists at Buckingham Palace and if they don't, now is the time."
4. Responding to someone who said Harry needed to protect his family from the pararazzi: "You are talking to someone who knows more about the press than you could imagine? Harry, has slagged this country for years, long before Meghan. Fighting the press, then embracing the press because it tells you what you want to hear? It's a mugs game!"

Based Boy George is fun.
Who’s yo daddy?
B(o)y George, I think he's got it!
lol -thanks.
hard hitting journalism.
Millionaire princess victim and billionaire victim - tossing tough and hard hitting victim journalism about their victim status for us.
The story about Megan's bride's maid dress fiasco really made me re-think life. *sobbing* *tears*
I think the UK should just do what they did before, get rid of this royal family in total, and import another one. I'm sure there's some deserving Hanoverian Prince that could take the job.
House therapists?
oh for fucks sake.
actually it's probably a good idea.
Boy George is right.
They should yank Harry and Meghan's titles today. Ungrateful, spoiled children.
They are among the most priveledged human's in history, and they're whining and trying to be victims?
Pathetic.
"in-house therapists"
She is enormously wealthy. It's hard to find therapists who are covered by benefits and HR access.
Such a weird complaint for her, as if she is entirely unable or unwilling to spend any of her own money on her own mental health. Which makes it sound even more like even outside of the Royals she has found success through blaming others. Which is, if I'm not mistaken, a trait of narcissistic personality disorder. Nothing is her fault, even not addressing her mental health. For those who lack a sense of self, though, those kinds of personalities can be really enthralling. But at the same time, the whole royalty thing is a mess.
It's like watching a bunch of hoarders complaining about each other's messes.
Boy George 100% on point.
They all be members of The Church of the Poisoned Mind
You can get an online therapist through various apps. All you need is a credit card, which I bet she had.

Good for Boy to sorta call BS.
But Douglas Murray has the best take so far in the NY Post: "Meghan Markle is a US culture-war missile aimed at the heart of Britain and Europe"
It's a good thing Harry is not a member of the Corleone family. He'd be swimming with the fishes about five miles offshore Montecito California. And his wife would be allowed to shop for a pair of cement shoes before joining him.

I sincerely wish that had happened to her.
I don't know how the rest of you endure this evil "Alice in Wonderland" existence they've erected for us to live in. What flavor Kool-Aid is it?
Boy George has pretty much always been fun. This item prompted me to dig up the Cast Recording of his autobiographical musical Taboo (apparently available free on the Internet Archive). It was great fun when I saw it in a small "club-like" venue in London, apparently it was less fun in a big barn of a theater on Broadway.
Such a weird complaint for her, as if she is entirely unable or unwilling to spend any of her own money on her own mental health.
She is trying to reproduce the Princess Di narrative. I saw a tweet that highlighted all of the times her dresses matched what Diana wore. She also claims the royals turned on her because she was so popular in Australia. Just like Diana. She claims she was suicidal during her first pregnancy. Just like Diana. She was denied help. Just like Diana.
Trouble is, she married into the family when she was divorced and approaching middle aged and not as an innocent 19 year old, so there is much less innate sympathy for her plight. Also, she didn’t marry the heir to the throne, so her popularity is not up there with Diana. I read that she is now less popular than Camilla in the UK. Doesn’t she know they don’t like Americans?
I'm starting to believe that Meg's elevator may not reach all the way to the top.
Rcocean has the right idea. Replace them.
When did you last hear about the Norwegian royal family? Or the Swedish? Can you name the Emperor of Japan?
Before you expound about republics think “President and Head of State Kamala Harris” and tell me with a straight face that America is better off than Denmark.
Piers Morgan got fired for criticizing Megan.
They have created a religion around wokeness and Megan has been sainted.
They are burning heretics who criticize her.
This is a non-human movement.

"Normal" = Accepting Evil.
I saw that video the other night and could not stop snickering.
Meghan is worth 4million, Harry inherited 16 million just from his mum, and Oprah got paid 9 million for the interview. ( Hopefully Oprah tossed Tyler Perry a finders fee.)
Harry served in the British military in Afghanistan and Iraq and he served with distinction. He was embraced by his peers. I was heartened by that and thought we’ll, the half brother thing (You know he ain’t Charle’s boy) could spur him to a life of consequence. And now here we are.
As a huge Culture Club fan from the 80s, I am happy I don't have to Woody Allan or Roman Polanski my love of their works.
Now, how long before Boy George gets cancelled?
And now here we are.
Yes, very disappointing.
Where will this end? I foresee the Dude and Duchess of Sussex leading an army of their disrespected Sussexian subjects in an attack on Buckingham Castle, while the kingdom is distracted by the death of Prince Phillip.
The Prince of Wales is deeply unpopular in Wales, and his son the Prince of Cambridge fails to rally the students of Cambridge to his side (or much of any side requiring weilding of weaponry). "If it were done when done, then 'twere well It was done quickly."
Piers Morgan can be kind of a dick, but he has balls.
: )
I followed the link and also found this. It's billed as Harry's divorce, but, having watched more of The Windsors and The Crown, it looks to me like the wedding he actually wanted.
Yancey Ward said...Now, how long before Boy George gets cancelled?
Not to be "that guy", but there was that one time he handcuffed a male prostitute to a wall and beat him with a chain. Boy George was evidently pretty paranoid from his rampant drug use and thought the guy had hacked his computer or something.
I watched the video and loled, but it was the first time I'd seen a clip of Oprah...wow, she's let herself go...
Me-Again Markle is a toxic manipulative narcissist.
That link was also funny Tim Maguire.
Here's the thing. If Meghan had said she didn't want to be Royal and they moved away and we never heard from them again, no one would bat an eye. But the self promotion? It's definitely not taking the high road.
Can you name the Emperor of Japan?
The Japanese imperial bureaucracy has actually come under fire several times in recent years for its ruthless treatment of the various princesses.
"She is trying to reproduce the Princess Di narrative. "
This makes sense. Hopefully she won't embrace it all the way.
It also suggests she's using Harry and a divorce is likely already in the plans.
Ex-princess has all the fame and none of the obligations.
Oprah now owns Weight Watchers. Let herself go? Birches cancelled!
That's brilliant! (The deepfake, I mean.)
It's Bitches and Ho's all the way down, anymore.

Do we still have to let her be a citizen?
When the trannies achieve social dominance he will want to be known as Girl George.
I don't believe a single word that escaped from her mouth. My (normally very sensible) wife and I have had sharp differences about Meg's miasma. Both of us are experienced entertainment attorneys, and I don't see how it's possible that she doesn't see the long-planned fraud unfold right before our eyes.
Markle wasn't some English countryside innocent sweetie bedazzled by crown jewels. She was a professional celebrity figure surrounded for many years by expensive lawyers, public relations teams on monthly retainer, agents, and managers. She knew precisely what royal live was like. We know what royal life is like. We've watched it for years play out including, without limitation, Harry's mother.
Markle went into this thinking that she was special and that she could beat the system. I suspect that she thought she could bully Kate into some sort of co-queen thing much like Margaret wanted. It's very clear that she didn't get her way, and all of this is payback.
My wife is all weepy about what poor Meggie has gone through at the hands of the BitchQueen and her handlers at the Firm, the poor dear.

Can you name the Emperor of Japan?
Naruhito.
I believe he is the great grandson of Hirohito, the emperor during World War II. Technically Japan actually has two emperors right now. Naruhito's father, Akihito, (who abdicated a couple of years ago) is still alive and serving as Emperor Emeritus while he lives.
I have declared my life a Meghan and Harry free zone. When a younger royal and his POC wife descend on the Left Coast, the home of the bad and the beautiful, only one thing can happen: they will be fawned upon and every claim of victimhood will be embraced. The thought of the two of them with Oprah, the Therapy Queen, makes me nauseated.
This is all completely predictable, as is the embrace of these self-centered no-wits by our so-called “elites”.
The video is brilliant.
When you've lost Boy George, seppuku!

*****************
Meghan wants people to have empathy for her, yet the Queen is dealing with her husband who is 99 years old spending now almost three weeks in the hospital. He had a heart procedure. Meghan and Harry let it be implied he was a racist and only after backlash did Meghan and Harry decide to give him and the Queen a pass. Imagine the lack of empathy that takes on the part of Meghan and Harry.
Maybe their goal is to get the Queen to kick the bucket and get Archie his title —sooner. Then the timing makes sense, just like going to HR for your mental help makes sense if you were running it as a defense against an investigation into bullying the staff.
From what I have seen, the interview has its laugh-out-loud moments, but I can't watch the whole thing.
Weeping women tend to have that effect on me.

Nope. That's what the fear most. Charles has gone on record that he intends to "slim down" the Royal Family and put more emphasis on the direct line of succession. They're worried that Archie won't get an HRH even after he gets on the throne.
Years ago when I was living in London, Boy George made the news by calling police to report that his cocaine had been stolen. When the police arrived they did manage to locate the cocaine, and also found a naked man chained to the wall. The Boy was in a disoriented state of mind...
His grannie was the postmistress in Thurles, North Tipperary, a small town about 10 miles from where I used to live, so I feel a certain perverse kinship for him. Really what other sort of kinship could one feel for him?
A tweet from the UK. I'm with Piers Morgan (I never thought I'd write that) - I don't believe a word she said. I thought she'd be great - beautiful, poised, used to dealing with princesses.
"Always fascinated by the whole institution. It must be weird having every internal crisis and feud play out completely in public. And imagine having the top spot handed down through the same family! So strange. Anyway, they've also written this piece about the monarchy."
It's important to understand the best possible version of your opponents' arguments. So I encourage my fellow monarchists to read this anti-monarchist NYT piece. https://nytimes.com/2021/03/09/opinion/meghan-harry-abolish-monarchy.html
In the play King Charles III, Will twists Charles' arm to abdicate the crown in his favor, and convinces Harry to give up his unsuitable lady for the sake of The Firm. Wishful thinking.

Monarchy has no justification at all, except that democratic countries that have one generally are more stable. There's a billion confounding effects, but the plain fact is pretty evident. Spain improved a lot with restoration for example. The monarchy is generally low profile, ceremonial, boring. Norway. Luxembourg. But a public tsuris monarchy like the modern Windsors ... unsustainable and destructive.
I suggest Meg and Harry don't try and outrun the paparazzi through the Gaviota Tunnel
Oy George.
“ My wife is all weepy about what poor Meggie has gone through at the hands of the BitchQueen and her handlers at the Firm, the poor dear.”
Condolences. Ask her why Meghan made the false claim about the secret wedding. That looks like pure attention whoring to me. And a bold faced lie, delivered with skill.
"I suggest Meg and Harry don't try and outrun the paparazzi through the Gaviota Tunnel"
I take the opposite opinion.
Ya know, you'd think after all these years Boy George would have grown up to be Man George, but wadda I know...
I dunno, guys, if our society's victims now include NYT reporters who get their names mentioned on Tucker Carlson and celebrated princesses who used to be TV actresses now living on $14.5M properties while hanging with Oprah, I feel like we've watered down victimhood a bit.

But if we were a republic we'd have some second rate, no doubt woke, ex politician as a Head of State.
I'd rather have a monarchy that can trace its roots to the coming of the English to England over 1500 years ago. Fun fact, the word king means belonging to the kin!

Boy George was my first exposure to "gender queer" although I don't think word existed in the 80s. I'd grok'd gay already, and seen transvestites, but what's with this dude whose name is Boy who wears girly makeup and men's clothes?
Anyway, good for him.

https://www.vice.com/en/article/wx83v4/even-trumps-defense-secretary-during-the-capitol-riot-blames-him-for-inciting-it
One of the most senior Cabinet officials in the Trump administration, Acting Secretary of Defense Chris Miller, has told VICE on Showtime that he believes the speech made by former President Donald Trump on the morning of January 6 was responsible for causing the mob to violently attack the Capitol later that day.
Trump installed Miller after firing his predecessor Mark Esper in the days after the election. Speaking exclusively to VICE on Showtime, Miller said, “Would anybody have marched on the Capitol, and tried to overrun the Capitol, without the president’s speech? I think it’s pretty much definitive that wouldn’t have happened.”

This is exactly my observation as well. I have grown to respect Kate quite a lot over the years, and would not be surprised if she is the one who, in her own way, best carries on the Queen's legacy.
I was initially positive about Harry's marriage, assuming Meghan would understand what she'd married into and could adapt. But now we see that that she was either incredibly naive or willfully refused to understand. (Or was just arrogant.) I think Harry has contracted at least equally to the problem, though, and has handled the situation incredibly poorly. He reminds me rather a lot of his father. And of course every woman should be able to recognise that the easiest possible way to get Harry to do what you want is to play up the "I'm so afraid of ending up like your Mom did" angle.
Thank goodness for William and Kate!
"She's black. It's a wig."

Ok, get a better damned wig then.

Back in 1985, who would have thought Boy George would be the brave one going against popular opinion and Arnold would be the sniveling coward?
Thank goodness for William and Kate!
If the Queen's subjects are lucky, they'll skip that idiot Charles and crown William when Queen Elizabeth II dies, long may she reign. She has too. She is now the longest reigning English monarch. It's interesting that the two longest monarchs were both women, and the third was mad king George III.
The last hope for the Saxe-Coberg-Gotha family to keep impersonating being English people
Surely 200 years and four generations is enough to be considered British now...Especially since several of them married women with long British histories.
